Research direction
Start by running the reported example and trace Basemap.pcolormesh into shiftdata, the entry points named in the issue. Compare the coordinate shape (3, 37) with the data shape (2, 36); done means this documented pcolormesh shape no longer raises the reported IndexError.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The pcolormesh docs (as noted in this issue https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/issues/107) explain that:
"Ideally the dimensions of x and y should be one greater than those of data; if the dimensions are the same, then the last row and column of data will be ignored."
However when I actually try and use Basemap pcolormesh with this shape array, the shiftdata method sometimes fails because the data is not the same shape:
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
x = np.arange(-179, 191, 10)
y = np.array([50, 51, 52])
data = np.ones((2, 36))
xv, yv = np.meshgrid(x, y)
map = Basemap()
map.pcolormesh(xv, yv, data, latlon=True)
results in this error (in 1.0.7):
IndexError: Inconsistant shape between the condition and the input (got (3, 37) and (2, 36))
